Mrs. Beckett

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the cost of extending entitlement to the higher pensioner premium to those people aged 60 to 79 years who would have been entitled to it if the income support scheme had commenced before they were 60 years; and how many people would benefit from this change.

Mr. Scott

Information on which to base such estimates is not available for the whole of the period concerned.
